Deep in the human unconscious is a pervasive need for a logical universe that makes sense. But the real universe is always one step beyond logic.

How I Turned 1 Hour of Conversation Into 2 YouTube Videos in 3 Hours

In about three hours of editing, I turned one hour of recorded conversation into two under-ten-minute videos on YouTube.

I recorded the whole thing.

Timelapse (3 hours in 10 minutes): https://youtu.be/GzznXiwNkPE

Tasks I completed:

1. Download aligned speaker recordings from Riverside.
2. Clean and enhance audio in Audacity.
3. Sync enhanced audio with video in Clipchamp or DaVinci Resolve.
4. Re-upload footage to Riverside and use AI tools to identify strong segments. Revise pacing and flow.
5. Upload to YouTube as unlisted videos. Request collaborator feedback.
6. Implement revisions. Use ChatGPT to generate chapter timestamps and title options, select notable excerpts, and suggest thumbnail designs from the transcripts.
7. Design thumbnails in Canva, ensuring consistent colour identities with Paletton.
8. Publish to YouTube.
